Development of an open-source and free facial rehabilitation website for severe bell’s palsy: a within-subject study on user experience and patient’s compliance with the MEPP-website
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: An open source and free website called Mirror Effect Plus Protocol (MEPP)-website was developed with features to diminish cognitive load and support motor learning during facial exercises. Assessing patient's perceptions is crucial when developing rehabilitation tools because patients' willingness to use the tools strongly affect engagement in the rehabilitation process. This study compared clinicians' and patients' user experience with the MEPP-website versus a hobby-designed website. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten patients with acute severe Bell's palsy and five clinicians were enrolled in a within-subject and crossover design. User experience was assessed with the Modular evaluation of Components of User Experience questionnaire. Wilcoxon-Signed-Rank test analysed user experience, and descriptive analyses explored the order effect. Therapeutic compliance was verified for the MEPP-website by an integrated feature. Clinicians' descriptive statistics and subjective observations were also reported. RESULTS: Both patients and clinicians demonstrated a preference for the MEPP-website, whether they used it first or second. Despite this preference, compliance with the MEPP-website was reduced, although it tended to be better when used first. CONCLUSIONS: MEPP- website during facial rehabilitation improved user experience. Better user experience likely optimizes how patients perform and facilitate their exercises. Factors affecting compliance with facial rehabilitation remain to be addressed.Implications for rehabilitationRecent data suggests that mirror effect therapy combined with drug therapy supports the recovery of severe Bell's Palsy.The specialized Mirror Effect Plus Protocol (MEPP)- website is a clinical computer-based tool developed to promote patients' motor learning and diminish cognitive load during mirror therapy.The MEPP-website increase clinicians' accessibility to a specialized facial rehabilitation tool for mirror therapy.Clinicians using the MEPP-website can also objectively and easily measure compliance to facial therapy with the MEPP-website.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
